Blood RaptuRe 167

Niam nodded once, his own face pale.

Up this close, he could smell the beginnings of decay. If she had truly been dead for two days she should have reeked with death. Maybe she wasn’t the girl Peter had fed upon. He gently pried open her mouth. Her canine teeth were longer than normal for a werewolf in human form. In fact, they were longer than a vampire’s in any form. He touched the tip of one, piercing his finger. He withdrew his hand and holding up his finger to Niam, asked, “How is this possible?”

“It isn’t,” Niam said.

“Then how is it she is a vampire and a werewolf?” Victor shook his head. Gerard? Is this what Vanessa meant as one of his other experiments? “How many more have there been?”

“Only two others that we have found.”

“All female?”

Niam nodded. “We figure it’s because they are easier to subdue. Females tend to look abroad for fulfillment. Our males tend to stick to their own kind.”

Victor ran his hand around the rest of her head, touching her ears, then he grabbed her shoulders and started to lift the body.

A warning growl behind him made him stop. Without turning around, he spoke. “I’m checking for the start of the wings. If she had truly become a vampire she would have needed to have fed.

Human blood will start the breakdown of the cartilage in her upper chest in preparation for the wings.”

“Why is this important?” Niam asked.

“It will tell me how successful the process was,” Victor said, still not moving. All creatures were similar in that they did not appreciate the desecration of a body. Still no one spoke.

“Please,” he said, “this is important. It will also tell me how long she was in this state.”

“Go ahead,” Niam said.

“Damn it all, Niam,” Chris said. “He’s one of them. He doesn’t care.”
